Xena: Warrior Princess/Characters


Xena and her friends

Xena (Lucy Lawless)

Former warlord turned wandering hero.


Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor)

Xena's best friend, sidekick and chronicler.


Joxer the Mighty (Ted Raimi)

Harmless Villain turned Heroic Wannabe, Joxer is one of Xena and Gabrielle's best and most trusted friends.


Eve/Livia (Adrienne Wilkinson)

Xena's daughter chosen to be the new messenger of the god of Love. Her birth heralded the Twilight of the Olympians so Xena faked her and Eve's death. Eve, as Livia, was raised by Octavius to become Rome's most powerful warrior.

Gabrielle: We saved your daughter.
Xena: No. We saved our daughter.


Eli (Timothy Omundson)

Former street magician turned miracle worker.


Amarice (Jennifer Sky)

A plucky young Amazon introduced near the end of season 4.


Autolycus (Bruce Campbell)

The King of Thieves.


Ephiny

Amazon Queen. Married the centaur Phantes, and is the mother of Xenon.


Aphrodite (Alexandra Tydings)

The Goddess of Love.

  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: She does quite well against Discord.
  • Dumb Blonde: At first, but she shows her true intelligence as the show progesses
  • Jerkass Gods
  • Stripperiffic
  • Token Good Teammate: The only Olympian to side with Xena for unselfish reasons.
    • Your Mileage May Vary on that one; she helped Xena to save Gabrielle, whom she considered her friend, and gave almost ‘’no’’ assistance to Xena or Eve, aside from watching a critically injured Gabrielle, and taking them to Olympus.


Borias

Warlord with whom Xena rode prior to her first appearance in Hercules. Father of their son Solan


Villains

Ares (Kevin Smith)

The God of War.


Callisto (Hudson Leick)

Former Xena victim now bent on her destruction. Becomes an angel in season 5 thanks to Xena.

  • And I Must Scream: After she dies the first time, Callisto's existence essentially boils down to this. She is so consumed with hate for Xena killing her family that she can't find peace even in death. (In the HTLJ "Surprise" episode, her version of Tartarus is simply her completely alone and screaming in agony.) It gets worse when she realizes there is nothing she can do to Xena to make her feel the same way.
  • Annoying Arrows: Provides the picture for this trope, from "Maternal Instincts".
  • Big Bad: One of the most recurring villains on the show, and one of the only ones to pose a serious threat to Xena.
  • Blondes Are Evil
  • Create Your Own Villain
  • Death Seeker
  • The Dragon: First to Hope, then Mephistopheles.
  • The Faceless: Callisto during her first appearance ("The Greater Good").
  • Foe Yay: With Xena
  • The Fool: In "The Bitter Suite" (which was bleeding Tarot imagery) Callisto dresses up like this.
  • Heel Face Turn: In an unusual twist, she only pulls this during her afterlife.
  • Knight of Cerebus
  • Playing with Fire: As a Goddess.
  • Physical God: After eating ambrosia.
  • Reformed but Rejected
  • Screaming Warrior
  • Woman in White: In “The Ides of March”
  • Would Hurt a Child: Callisto shows that she would right from the get-go, when she starts committing acts of terrorism in Xena's name.

Xena: I never killed women and children.
Callisto: You do now.


Julius Caesar (Karl Urban)

Brutus: He wouldn't betray a friend.
Xena: Pompey was a friend. And Crassus. Crassus was a friend too. I was once a very good friend of his. But maybe you're different.


Valeska (Melinda Clarke)

Amazon who battled Gabrielle to become Queen.


Alti (Claire Stansfield)

Former Amazon turned Shamaness.


Hope (Renee O'Connor)

The evil child of Dahak and Gabrielle.

Gabrielle: Hope… when I gave you that poison-
Hope: It’s okay, Mother, I forgive y-
Gabrielle: –I’m so sorry it didn’t kill you.


Draco (Jay Laga'aia)

A warlord and old friend of Xena’s.


Najara (Kathryn Morris)

A “Joan of Arc” esque character, and warrior zealot. She claims to hear the voices of "Jinn" and believes in reforming her enemies through "The Light".


Athena (Paris Jefferson)

Goddess of wisdom and war. She took over leadership of the Olympians after Zeus' death.

  • Bling of War: Her armor is solid gold, and her warriors dress in silver.
  • Face Heel Turn: Before she took over the Olympians and started pursuing Xena, Athena was the only Olympian Xena actually admired.
    • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: She's every bit as vicious as Ares and the season 5 finale showed her true prejudice against humans.
